Abstract

The lacquerware in Zeng Hou Yi's tomb is a representative of Chu lacquerware in the early Warring States period. In order to interpret the lacquerware patterns unearthed in Zeng Hou Yi's tomb, this paper adopts Panofsky's image research and analysis method combined with literature materials to explore the three aspects of the description of the former image, the interpretation of the image and the analysis of the image. The research shows that the lacquerware of Zeng Hou Yi tomb is featured by superb technology, exquisite pattern and rich story meaning. The formation of lacquerware patterns in Zeng Hou Yi's tomb was deeply influenced by Taoism, which carried Chu's primitive religious belief and diversified national culture. Based on the analysis of patterns, this paper aims to provide a new perspective for the study of contemporary art by studying traditional Chinese culture.
